I prefer a circle-x reticle, or a shotgun turkey scope. I ust the Trophy circle-x myself on a T/C. The reason for a shotgun scope is the percussion. The reason also for my choices is that I sight in accurately with the crosshairs, then when hunting as long as the circle covers the vitals you can shoot and knock it down quicker. When hunting I don't usually look at the hairs, just the circle. Others may not agree totally, but I haven't missed or lost one yet.
